@Jacob Gelinas agree anyone buying retail is overpaying.

You will meet wholesalers, agents, investors, lenders, contractors, and other professionals in the real estate industry. 

There is some industry in Albany, namely, Miller Brewing, Proctor & Gamble, and a small Marine base.

I've found success in passive investing as a means to learn the industry since my money is put to work but more experienced sponsors are doing the heavy lifting and I can learn from everything they're doing.

We have a portfolio of multi tenant flex industrial properties that have done very well for us, and consistently adding more assets.

Hey Steven, There are many scammy hard money loan companies as this side of the industry is unregulated.

This includes budgeting for initial investments, calculating potential returns, and having a contingency plan for unexpected expenses.Real Estate is a vast industry, and with dedication, continuous learning, and ample networking, success is within reach.

Be careful when doing business with family unless you are paying full retail value for their work.

Remember though your not paying retail price... buying all five at one price should be more of a wholesale price.Left the maintenance person with free rent out of the calculations... that is for you to decide after you buy the park. 

While job shadowing is a bit unique, we’ve done it before for those seriously interested in the industry.
